Friends of the Rosary,There are two major feasts in honor of St. Joseph, espouse of the Blessed Mother and patron of the Universal Church.On March 19, its solemnity day, we venerated him and his part in the work of redemption. On May 1, we honor him as the patron of workers worldwide and as our guide in our daily work obligations and rights in the social order.Liturgical veneration of St. Joseph began in the fifteenth century and was fostered by St—Brigid of Sweden, St. Bernadine of Siena, and St. Teresa.Sacred Scripture records no words of him. He quietly and faithfully fulfilled his mission of guarding God's greatest treasures upon earth, Jesus and Mary.He put his desires aside and, in silence, self-giving love, humility, and obedience, protected Mary and Jesus until he disappeared.Joseph is the master and role model of interior and spiritual life for all of us.March is the month dedicated to St. Joseph.Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You!Saint Joseph, Pray for Us!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!+ Mikel Amigot | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

Welcome to the broadcast! Let's wander around some places associated with St Brigid, including a very famous street in central London...

St. Brigid is one of Ireland's most well-known saints. While Christian churches have experienced a crisis of faith in recent decades, she seems to buck the trend. People of all faiths and none can identify with this figure. In this short episode, I explore the history of St. Brigid, asking if she was a Christian saint or a pagan goddess and why she continues to relate in the 21st century.Sound by Kate Dunlea.Read more about St Brigid at https://www.dib.ie/biography/brigit-brighid-brid-bride-bridget-a0961Support the show at https://patreon.com/irishpodcast Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/irishhistory.

“On the eve of a quarter day, the time is liminal, so there's kind of a thinning of the space between the real world and the other world.”

Celebrating St Brigid's Feast Day in words and music, and theologian and social activist Dr Ruth Valerio explains WHY Christians should care about the environment.

St. Patrick might be the most famous of the Irish saints...but he's far from the most interesting. In 2023, St. Brigid's Day was decreed a National Holiday in Ireland to honor Brigid. Over the millennia, this legendary woman has evolved into a figure encompassing myth, holy legend, pagan icon, and now modern feminist symbol. But who was Brigid, really? To answer that question, travel writer Nicola Brady set off around Ireland to see how she's celebrated, and she found that there's not one simple answer. Because, as with everything in Ireland, you never know quite what's around the corner. Listen for a story that takes you into forests and through time, from the windswept hills of Downpatrick to ancient cathedrals of Kildare. And you just might encounter some fire dancers, divine poetry, and even a miniature Batman on a bicycle... Thank you to everyone who featured in this episode: Judith Boyle from Boyle's Pub  Phil O'Shea from Solas Bhríde Tom McCutcheon from the Kildare Heritage Center Musicians Lisa Lambe and Moya Brennan Brigid Watson from Sustainable Journeys Ireland And poets Laura Murphy and Grainne Tobin.

Writer Manchán Magan joins Dearbhail to talk about the stories, language and mythology that Ireland shares with Indian culture, from the story of St Brigid's cloak to the Irish folk song made famous by Christy Moore, about an adulterous wife trying to blind her suspicious husband; ‘Tipping it up to Nancy'.

In 1924, the pretty wife of a distinguished Boston surgeon came to embody a raging national debate over the values of the Spiritualism movement which was devoted to communication with the dead. Newspapers dubbed her the blonde Witch of Lime Street, but she was known to her followers simply as Margery.Some called her a mystic and some called her a fraud. But this is the story of a woman who has also been called one of the most powerful mediums ever.The Margery case, (as it as known) was the last major episode of its kind, and it blew up and was the subject of public controversy because of all of the articles in the newspapers about her and her on going spats with Harry Houdini. Apparently she could levitate, produce other psychokinetic phenomena, and her mediumship was led by the ‘direct voice' of a male individual that seemed to originate independently from her own voice box.In this episode we find more about the amazing Margery Crandon.IMPORTANT HEART STOPPINGLY EXCITING NEWS!!!!!!!Better still join us in Ireland when we go to investigate this very site on our amazing Ireland adventure in March 2024.IMPORTANT NEWS - do you want to join Anne and Renata on our next Haunted Adventure overseas?Here is the link to our Ireland Adventure in March 2024!

The Denbigh Moors, or Mynydd Hiraethog, lie in north Wales. At its highest point, it's higher than Exmoor. The moors are a wild, desolate place, home to various types of wildlife. Yet if you believe the tales, they're also a place of ghosts and the Tylwyth Teg. A Roman Centurion apparently stalks the moors, and a ruin slowly disintegrates into the landscape. Let's go and look and some of the legends in this week's episode of Fabulous Folklore!

Down a small, sleepy lane, and not far from Upper Dicker, Arlington Reservoir and Hailsham is stunning Michelham Priory. This is a 13th Century Priory that stands on a private island.This priory is the site of deaths, murders and destruction and was looted of its ornaments and valuables at the time of King Henry 8th.Although it has seen many different eras and had many different purposes one thing is for sure – the ghosts of the past still remain and as are active as ever.In this week's episode of the True Hauntings Podcast we explore the many ghostly sightings and experiences that still haunt the Priory – The now famous English ghost hunting show – Most Haunted concluded their first series with an investigation of Michelham Priory on 17 September 2002, which was coincidentally the first episode to be produced.

The name 'Exmoor' conjures mental images of ponies, undulating moorland, and Lorna Doone, R D Blackmore's 1869 novel. It crosses the Somerset and Devon border, hugging the north Devon coast, and takes its name from the River Exe. A wild and beautiful place, designated a national park in 1954, Exmoor is home to a whole range of folklore. Witches, ghosts, pixies, superstitions, and the famous Beast of Exmoor - the park features them all. Let's investigate some of these tales further in this week's episode of Fabulous Folklore!

If you say 'moor' to most people, they might think of Wuthering Heights, Dartmoor, or Bodmin. You probably won't immediately think of the Town Moor that lies immediately north of Newcastle upon Tyne's city centre.  While it's not filled with ghost stories, fairy legends, or tales of the Devil creating local landmarks, the Town Moor does play a role in the folk history of the city. It has hosted regular fairs for centuries, been an execution site for witches, and even been home to a smallpox isolation hospital. So what tales can this expanse of open land tell? Let's find out in this week's episode of Fabulous Folklore!
